Of this amount $4,100 will be paid on water bonds out of the water receipts, and the payment of $1,500 on the Duxbury and Cohasset Railroad notes is provided for in the list of recommended appropriations at the end of this report. There remain to be paid $4,000 on the High School-house loan, and $2,870 on the two con- solidated temporary loans, leaving $6,870 to be provided for. If to this amount, accruing interest, less estimated interest on delinquent taxes, be added, an appropriation of $11,000, will be required for Town debt and interest. The temporary loan of $3,000 due June 9, 1892, can be renewed under the authority annually given to the Selectmen.

Besides the ordinary work of repair, special improve- ments have been made on Warren Avenue and the South Meadow Road. On the former of these the improvements, were made the more necessary by the extension of the Plymouth and Kingston Street Railway to Hotel Pilgrim. For this, and other work, the Town has been reimbursed by the Railway Company in the amount of $850.42. Cobb's and Finney's valleys have been widened and raised and the whole avenue been made more attractive and convenient. On the South Meadow Road the road machine has worked
to advantage, and about two miles of the road have been finished in a creditable manner. The Town is in possession of five horses, and through the season they were kept in- cessantly at work. While occupied in the construction of new roads their time has been charged to that department, and credited to the road department. Notwithstanding the heavy expenditures on Warren Avenue, and the purchase of two horses at a cost of $490, together with the cost of their accommodations in the Almshouse stable, a balance of $397.11 remains to the credit of the department. It is be- lieved that, in addition to this balance, an appropriation of $11,500 for the ensuing year will be sufficient. In connec- tion with this department, the Selectmen recommend that some action be taken by the Town to control the street watering, which is now carried on by private enterprise with a lack of judgment which causes serious detriment to the streets and great inconvenience to our people. It is advised that a vote be passed requiring persons engaged in the work to obtain from the Selectmen a permit stating the condition on which the work shall be carried on, prescribing the character of the equipment to be used, and requiring its methods and management to be under the control of the Board.

During the year five new streets have been constructed, to wit : Alden, Clyfton, Lincoln, Newfields and Winter streets. All the bills chargeable to this department have been paid except three for land damages on the line of Lincoln street, amounting to $918.40. After the payment of these damages. the actual balance available for this department for the en- suing year will be $109.25. Owing to an informality in the laying out of a new street at Wellingsly from the Sandwich road to the shore, a new laying out has been made and will be presented to the Town for acceptance at the annual meeting. Besides the construction of the above streets, Leyden and Water streets have been widened at and near their junction, making the total payments for the year $6,675.81, which is the amount stated in the above account. less the sum of $75.74, charged to this department and afterwards reimbursed by the road department. In addi- tion to the above balance of $109.25, an appropriation of $300 will be sufficient.

It will be seen in the above analysis that the sum of $948.42 has been paid out on account of the Standish Guards. Of this amount the sum of $400 is refunded by the State for the rent of the armory. The heating and light- ing, as well as the armory itself, and the maintenance of a rifle range, are required by law.
The sum of $439.75 has been paid for services and ex- penses of the Board of Health. The Selectmen recommend that a Board of Health be omitted in the list of officers chosen by the Town in order that the Selectmen, as provided by law, may become the Board of Health, and the sum of $375 charged for services be saved to the Town.
The sum of $57.41, charged on account of a fish screen, is the amount paid for the construction of a screen, and keep- ing it clear for the passage of water at the flumes on Eel River. It is believed that if herrings, in going down the river after spawning, and the young herrings are protected from the factory wheels, and are obliged to follow the waste ways, the Eel River fishery will become a valuable one.
